Literally built a new PC this past month haven't take a picture of the tower yet but here are the current specs will upgrade in the coming years but at the moment it runs everything fine even at 4k, has 5TB HDD space.

5TB, wondered why I bothered with a piddly 1TB. Recently installed Odyssey, games of that size fill it out in a blink of an eye.

I installed cheap china RGB LED strip today:

Is it worth waiting till black Friday for some deals?
I’ve seen bestbuy or ibuypower have some really good deals of prebuilt PCs. Unless you guys recommend something.

Coming back from last winter vacation, I turned on again my desktop and the mobo was fried, I made a minor upgrade, keeping all the HW still working, HDDs, graphics card, case, etc and bought:
AsRock B450 Pro4 mobo
Ryzen 5 2600 CPU (back then the best value as performance/list price ratio in its market segment, even best value at the best Amazon price I found. BTW, unlike older AMD ones, this time the standard provided CPU cooler is quiet enough to not force me to buy a 3rd party one. It also helps that even with more than 80 tabs open in Firefox, most CPU cores stay under 10% power, so the fan can almost always run at minimum speed, the power leap from my old system has been huge even with a little more than entry level CPU).
16GB (2x8GB) ECC DDR4 (being an emergency partial upgrade with possible further ones, I started looking for 8GB in 2x4GB modules, but I quickly found that 4GB starting becoming obsolete, 16GB in 2x8GB just cost a very few euros more)
Cooler Master MWE 500W White PSU, as the old 400W one, besides offering little power margin if I later upgrade GPU and add other HW too, had an old mobo connector with just additional 4pin instead of 8pin, again barely enough for the current config, but possibly insufficient in case of future upgrades, moreover there was the possibility that the old one could be involved in the old mobo frying.
Outside nothing exciting to see, the old Enermax Pandora case, I even covered a passive cooling grille on the side with gray duck tape to force all air entering through fans with dust filters (I added two quiet 120mm ones to the one in the case standard equipment, all pumping air in, while the PSU fan pumps it out).

Love the fans on the tower CGI, massive and also clean. Once i upgrade to a RTX-3080 ill be looking at a similar case design, might be overkill for a 1 GPU setup but it looks cool (Pun intended)

Here are the specs of my new rig so far (currently building it, missing only the GPU):

• CPU: Intel Core-i9-10900k
• Motherboard: MSI MEG Z490 GODLIKE
• RAM: 128GB Corsair Vengeance RGB
• PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3
• SSD: 2 x WD BLACK SN750 2TB
• Cooling: NZXT Kraken Z63 + 2 Extra 140m RGB Fan for the look :)
• Case: NZXT H510 Elite (bottom white)
• GPU: Hopefully an RTX3090, may go with a 3080 if it is impossible to find in the next month

I was hesitating between an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X / ASUS ROG Strix X570-E combo but I'm just too much of an Intel sucker :) Don't think I will ever switch back to AMD.

Going to take a picture when it will be fully built (and when I'll get my hand on an RTX3080 or 3090) but I'm really trying to build something that also look pretty sexy.

Current set up. Will change over the course of the next few months.

Since 2006 I had the same PC with DVD-drive and even a floppy disk drive.

Here is a 2007 picture of it:

Okay, the internal changed a bit since then (2013 upgrade of mainboard, CPU and RAM, a SSD upgrade and a few GPU upgrades over the years), but that black PC case was a constant in my living room for almost 15 years while most other stuff was replaced over the years several times (TVs, projectors, consoles, AV receivers, speakers, furniture, wallpapers,...)

The new PC case is (again) a black midi tower without RGB lightshow... once you go black, you never go back:

For a better airflow, putting stuff on top of the case ain't an option anymore... but the dust sieve on top of the upper fans is a good idea:

On the back side there is a small RGB compromise, but from all other directions, the lighting still looks subtle:

For the next days my old PC stays in the room (it just moved a meter to the right and I connected it to my good old 1200p Dell 2407) until all data transfers are finished and I prepared a Windows setup for my brother. That gift will be a huge upgrade to his current PC (dual core, GTX 650 Ti).

Specs of my new PC:

• PC case: Fractal Meshify C
• power supply: Enermaxx MaxTytan 800W
• mainboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz
• RAM: 32 GB DDR4
• GPU: ASUS TUF 3070 OC Gaming
• SSD 1: Corsair Force MP600 SSD 1 TB (for the OS + a few games)
• StoreMI: an old 120 GB-SATA-SSD (to cache HDD data)
• HDD: WD Red 14 TB
• two external MyBook Duos (Raid 0)

Copying games from the external HDDs only takes a few minutes due to transfer speeds of 300 - 400 MB/s, so I'll settle for now with 1 TB SSD space. But knowing me, it won't take long until I buy another M2.SSD.

The PC is connected to my 1440p-monitor (G-Sync up to 165 Hz) and 4K-OLED-TV (G-Sync-compatible up to 120 Hz), so I can Switch between small screen and big screen quite easy.

I also reconnected my Oculus Rift which always brought the USB-capabilities of my old PC to its limit and the connections were often fragile.

Next month my preordered HP Reverb G2 should finally arrive... with a lot less cables thanks to inside-out-tracking.
